One of my favorite parts of my trip to NYC. So many interesting exhibits and the dinosaurs was probably my favorite part of the whole museum. The place is huge and you could easily spend an entire day there looking through all of the artifacts and information. Definitely a must do. They even have lockers to store you jackets or purses while you stroll around the museum which was a huge plus since it's winter and I have a heavy coat I'd have to carry around if not. 10/10

Ticketing and getting in the museum was easy. Most amazing experience was at the gift shop where 2 girls, maybe 10 ish used a $100 bill to pay for items that came to 60 ish and change. The young girl told the cashier to keep the change. The cashier then explained to the girls how much money she was offering to give away and explained the math to them amd advised them to be careful going forward.

Both are amazing options to do while visiting NYC! From the snow leopard to the tropic zone, there are varying options no matter what the weather is outside at the Central Park Zoo. Experiencing larger than life exhibitions at the American Museum of Natural history was awe inspiring and the Milky Way tour is a must! All in all, you won't be disappointed with these 2 options!

    Beautiful museum, lots of people and it was worth going. Very fascinating the size of the works but also the size of the museum itself that you visit on 4 floors.
